We just returned home from a week on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. My family did this river in 2003 and have since had a six year drought on drawing permits until this year, apparently Ashli has been doing something right. The Idaho Fly Fishing guide book says "If God were to set out to design the perfect river for wilderness trips, he'd make sure there were series after series of exciting but negotiable rapids and falls, schools of trout waiting to take the first fly they see, and hot springs all along the route in which to soak at the end of a hard day. That describes the Middle Fork perfectly." I don't think there is any place on earth that I would rather be than floating, fishing, sitting in hot springs, eating and relaxing on the Middle Fork.
The Confluence of Loon Creek and the Middle Fork.
Throwing dry flies at some West Slope Cutthroats.
Sunflower Hot Springs pour over a rock ledge right next to the river providing a perfect shower.
Trail Flat hot spring provided a nice warm break on a cool first day.
Running Lake Creek Rapid, this newly formed
rapid shows how the river is constantly evolving.

Great pictures Ty. We had a great time and loved being out in the wilderness with all of you.
Thanks for a wonderful time.
So loving the pictures! I have got to sit down and post some! You guys are so much fun, I think we all had a great time and that hopefully we won't have to wait another 6 years before going again!
